Tennis Victoria and the metropolitan water retailers (Yarra Valley Water, City West Water, South East Water and Western Water) have been working together to develop a solution that increases water savings and provides greater flexibility in the use of tennis courts.

We are pleased to advise that a new alternative Water Conservation Plan for tennis clubs with red porous courts has been developed and approved in consultation with the metropolitan water retailers.  If your club undertakes specific actions to treat court with a water saving product, your club could reopen ALL red porous courts under the new Water Conservation Plan.
